When creating an Invoice via the API, can we get the IDs of each InvoiceItem returned in the response
When creating an Invoice via the API - we receive a response that includes the Invoice and the Lines - but each line does not have its Xero ID. As such, we need to do a subsequent API call to grab the Line IDs.
Without this we don't have a way to EDIT Lines on an Invoice and essentially are deleting all Lines/re-adding these.
Receiving the Line IDs would allow better management of this outside Xero.

Recently Xero started surfacing the LineItemId for Invoice line items. This is a great initiative. However, to take full advantage of the LineItemId GUID's, we need the ability to send our unique LineItemId's on a PUT.
Assuming that we could to specify our LineItemId (and that it would be contained in the Xero Response) we would then have the certainty required to associate the Xero LineItemId response with our LineItemId's.
This feature enhancement is critical as our invoices always have multiple LineItems, often with the same quantity and Amounts.
We need a way to ensure we are able to match the LineItems on each side.
